UNSPSC 50122137: Farm raised lake whitefish

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Lake Whitefish, that was farm raised and harvested as an adult, and is not presumed to have grown as an organic and Non GMO species.

UNSPSC 50122137 Farm raised lake whitefish is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not currently procure farm-raised lake whitefish under this code based on recent solicitation activity. The seventeen recent opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, municipal grocery distribution, and state food procurement — encompassing frozen proteins, fresh and canned produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods — but none explicitly list whitefish or other aquaculture products in their line-item specifications. The disconnect reflects broader state and local sourcing patterns: school districts specify proteins by broad category (frozen beef, chicken, fish, pork) without isolating whitefish; grocery suppliers emphasize domestic agricultural content, locally-grown options, and USDA commodity compliance; and food distributors focus on volume-delivery capability and temperature control rather than species-specific sourcing. Vendors responding to these solicitations compete on price, fill rates, insurance, and compliance with Buy American and Child Nutrition standards, not on whitefish availability.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where school districts (Houston County, Douglas County, Dougherty County, Richmond County, Hancock County, Early County, Lamar County, City Schools of Decatur, Treutlen County) and Invest Atlanta issued fourteen IFBs and RFPs between January and July 2026. The Houston County School District's two direct-delivery ITBs (27-001 and 27-002, due April 16–17, 2026) represent the largest single awards—approximately $14 million annually across 39 schools—and exemplify the scale and specification depth typical of school nutrition procurement, yet neither itemizes whitefish. Invest Atlanta's dual-track RFP for municipal market operations and food distribution (due August 6, 2026) and Douglas County's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP for produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026, serving 30 districts with $5.5 million annual spend) show no whitefish line items. The code shows no decision-relevant activity for firms supplying farm-raised whitefish to state or local buyers.
